IIA
Management and Tortilis Africa have been
established by Chris Rightford and Dusty
Rodgers. In an industry that tends to stagnate
periodically it provides a new and unique way
for individuals to invest into a portfolio of
lodges. It will also go a long way to finding
ways to stimulate socio-economic opportunity in
rural communities and give people a reason to
look after our natural heritage.
